Whistle Pig was some of the best beer, especially considering they just started up. The owner/head brewer, I forget his name, was the absolute nicest guy and directed my boyfriend and I towards some other great breweries and chatted to us our whole time there really cool space, too.

Really like what I've had there. Only problem is that as of my last visit, they don't do growler fills. Apparently the owners worry about running out in the tap room, since they truck the kegs in from the brewery in Newman Lake.

Yeah he's not even selling kegs to outside accounts any more because all the supply gets poured at the tap room. Good problem to have.

@Slamminson sorry I missed your post. If I had I'd have told you the beer scene in Spokane in general is a bit of a secret for those outside the area, but Whistle Punk is certainly one of the newer gems of it. What's awesome about that part of town is it's a whole brewery district, with Orlison, Iron Goat, Steel Barrel Tap Room (home to Young Buck, Little Spokane & T.T.'s Old Iron brewing companies), plus River City (closed their taproom but they open up the brewery every first Friday with a foodtruck and live music).

Thank you, Woemad for the update. I was short on spare time, but fortunately was able to visit Iron Goat for a couple pints. I felt like a kid in a candy store in that part of Spokane. Hopefully I can have more time to explore on my next visit. I'll keep an eye out on any further updates on the Spokane Beer scene.
